I recently learned that the Mormons settled and resettled in several states before finally staying in Utah. It’s quite an interesting story, especially given that most religions are so ancient that it’s very hard to track their origins today.
Johnny Harris has great videos about it, this one for instance.
I often use this over KDE’s inbuilt screenshot tool because this one has a quick way to crop a screenshot
It’s a good overview. As a bonus I would love to see the number of people affected (in absolute numbers and share of global population) in each category for each point in time.
It’s true but for the broader picture one should add that many people don’t bother to vote if their state is predicted to be a landslide victory for either candidate.
It’s appealing but I wish the black font for mountain names had an outline or something to make it more readable.
I feel like when comparing over a such a vast time scale party affiliation becomes less useful as a metric.
Society and mores have changed so much over the last 80+ years that it’s better to ask about specific questions or habits like: Do you support a smoking ban in public spaces?
or Schools should provide free meals to students: yes/no
and see how the answers develop over time.
That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?
How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?
real life lore has multiple videos around the entire Israel Palestine complex, this one for starters:
I haven’t seen an app that does it really well like some libraries or ontologies do but I’m certainly not well versed with all of them. Back in the day I used Evernote which was at least a start, as you could create arbitrary hierarchies (nest tags within tags).
So ideally you would want to be able to nest tags like this:
news.politics.europe.denmark
of course another person might prefer the hierarchy
politics.elections.news.denmark
There’s no strict right or wrong here but often over time some consensus forms. Bonus points if there are equivalency classes, ie “recipe”, “recipes”, “cooking recipe”, and even the Spanish versions “receta” and “recetas” all refer to the same thing.
By meta tags I mean the ability to describe and classify certain tag groups. For instance “politics”, “cats” and “Hollywood” are content tags while the tags “English”, “Danish” and “French” are language tags. “PDF”, “MP3” and “HTML” are file format tags but “video”, “music” and “text” are content form tags while “2023”, “2004-04-03” are time-line tags
Meta categories allow you for instance to search for pages that are about the English language, but not necessarily in English and surely not written by people who happen to have the last name ‘English’. Now some systems encode this information inside the string of the tag itself like so: “language = English” or “topic = cats”, but I think the most elegant solution is really to let a tag have categories or tags on its own which describe what it’s used for (thus meta tags).
The current demo is quite limited. I hope they add (nested) tags and meta tags at least.
I initially wrote ‘temptor’ in the title but then double checked. Not today, Titivillus.
